Fabulous morning on frosty Ardalanish beach in Mull. Spud enjoying this lovely clean calc-silicate outcrop, with pink garnets, dark hornblende, and white plagioclase and quartz.

More from this afternoon, The staining on these rocks is not ideal, but underneath it all is some pretty fabulous boundinage of meta-quartzites in more mica-rich metasediments, Lobhta Mor, is just out of site of this view.

Spud on the rocks at the intrigiungly-named Lobhta Mor, on the south coast of Mull. Might mean the big stench, or putrefaction? Air very fresh and bracing. Steeply-dipping Moine meta-sandstones are main geo-thing in this view.
